Adapter plate is easy. You can make one with hand tools if you get a piece of aluminum plate.
I've also seen some conversions cleverly slice the end of the ICE block off, and use that as their adapter plate!
The coupler is going to be a bit harder to do.
Remind us again what your performance/range goals are?

Looks like it might be the perfect use for the block, then you can still sell the head and make that extra $50!
For the coupler, if you don't plan on using the clutch disk, you can take the center hub out of it, weld it onto the end of a properly sized/length tube that matches the output end of your motor, and you should be good to go there.
By the way, if you need a template for an adapter plate, that dust shield behind the flywheel is perfect for that, as well.
